Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is. Let's have a civil war!

Yup

So. The UK finally realized why constitutions are good, huh?

No.... They have an unwritten constitution

Also the government structure is completely different to the US

True. But some basic guarantees in writing as contingency for literally this situation might be smart for the future.

Because it sounds like not only are you not going to have a working government but France is going to OWN you. Like wtf, Japan only agreed to this level of shit AFTER we nuked them. And it took two times.

Not me. I'm in Australia 😛

Oh.

It's because May (the prime minister) never really wanted to leave

That's nice. Nobody really likes getting evicted. lol

The biggest mistake that Britain made was not getting boris to be prime minister

As in May was a remainer

So they shot themselves in the foot

If her approval rating is actually at around 10% though, and the actual country is at threat of being only sort of a country half owned by the people, she should know that at the very least, she should go into hiding, right?

Yes. But in Britain you don't vote for the prime minister

You vote for the party and they vote within themselves who the leader is

Here, we would have actually killed that person if the system didn't fix itself fast enough I think.

Ahh, rule by unelected official. Sounds wonderful

I believe it's preferential voting

Well I get it. A republic.

They still have to be elected

It's indirect voting in theory.

The party member must be elected

You still hire a janitor. Doesn't mean he should be CEO

It's to combat cults of personality

Which while not ideal, once the country gets to a certain size, becomes hard to avoid.

True

The idea is the party puts out a manifesto and then everyone campaigns on that

It is supposed to put the focus on the issues

Australia has a similar system

I think most (informed) people realize that when they elect a president, they're electing an administration as well, with a 4 year plan

Then again we have had 7 prime ministers in as many years.... Soooooo

Doesn't always work

Parliamentary systems sounds like overly convulted mob rule

Nah. It's kind of like your electoral college except the members of the house represent the college votes

I just look at how this has all developed in Europe, and it blows my mind. It seems like the EU just sprang out of nowhere and, slowly became a regulatory body instead of a trade union WITHOUT the knowledge or approval of literally everyone but two countries, the UK finally realized that "Holy shit who gave these guys authority? They signed themselves into permanent office," tried to get out, and got betrayed by its leader.

Also we have preferential voting which makes things more interesting and stops mob rule

Yeah, convulted mod rule. Electors represent geographical areas, not demographic breakdowns by numbers

To be fair. Mob rule is more or less democracy anyway.

Just that mob is even bigger.
